While Detroit's city center is impressive, times have been hard on the region's manufacturing industry. In our wanderings, we found several areas of crumbling tenements, gutted buildings fenced off and general squaller. The entire city is strewn with trash and it's obvious there's no pride among the citizenry who live there. There is much opportunity for urban redevelopment.
On a more upbeat note (get it?), Detroit remains a center for musical talent and there were several street concerts the week we were there. The "Motown" sound lives on here!
